On the one hand, Derrida's work has engendered a robust conversation among philosophers and critics in Spain and Latin America, where his work circulates in excellent translation, and where many of the terms and problems he addresses take on a distinctive meaning: nationalism and cosmopolitanism; spectrality and hauntology; the relation of subjectivity and truth; the university; disciplinarity; institutionality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerhaps more remarkably, the influence is in a profound sense reciprocal: across his writings, Derrida grapples with the theme of marranismo, the phenomenon of Sephardic crypto-Judaism. Derrida's marranismo is a means of taking apart traditional accounts of identity; a way for Derrida to reflect on the status of the secret; a philosophical nexus where language, nationalism, and truth-telling meet and clash in productive ways; and a way of elaborating a critique of modern biopolitics. It is much more than a simple marker of his work's Hispanic identity, but it is also, and irreducibly, that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays collected in The Marrano Specter cut across the grain of traditional Hispanism, but also of the humanistic disciplines broadly conceived. Their vantage point--the theoretical, philosophically inflected critique of disciplinary practices--poses uncomfortable, often unfamiliar questions for both hispanophone studies and the broader theoretical humanities.","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574064824471,"sku":"9780823277681","price":3449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780823277681.webp?v=1774894531","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-marrano-specter-derrida-and-hispanism-9780823277681","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
